## File No.: Joiner 

## -11632/12050

Pursuant to Section 

## 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 

## 2012 (the "Reform Act") and 

## 14 C.P.R. Part 

## 11, Halo Aviation, LLC ("HALO"), seeks an exemption from Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") detailed in this letter for the following described Unmanned Aerial System referred to in this application as the ("HALO System"), which includes an Unmanned Aircraft ("UA") and ground station-based equipment and crew. COMPANY BACKGROUND: Halo Aviation, LLC is a limitedliability company duly organized and located in the State of Oregon. The primary purpose of the LLC is to provide aeronautical education and aviation resources and training to public and private schools. Staff are highly trained, experienced individuals with years of aviation training and aircraft operation. Halo maintains liability insurance tlii-ough the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Founder and Manager, Scot Joiner, is a licensed Airframe and Powerplant Technician and a commercial pilot (license numbers available upon request). He has worked for both in the fixed wing and rotor wing operators as well as heavy machinery. He is well versed in the operation and maintenance of UA and employs a visual observer ("VO").

## US DOT, Docket Operations April 22, 2015 Page 2 of5
THE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT (UA): • A lightweight (24-ounce gross weight with all on-board equipment), battery operated 4-motor rotorcraft in the form of a quadcopter that takes off and lands vertically, capable of carrying the following equipmentin flight; • An on-board flight computer with GPS navigation and location ability that receives signals for flight controls from a ground-based transmitter

# Icontroller modified; • An on-board Go Pro camera capable of capturing imagery in the form of full color, high definition still photos and video; • An on-board telemetry system operating at 5.8GHz that delivers flight data from the on-board flight computer to the on-board radio transmitter including altitude AGL, horizontal and vertical speed, compass direction of flight and directionbackto its launch site; • A Dx5e DSMX 5 2.4GHz on-board radio transmitter that transmits the flight data from the telemetry system described above.

THE GROUND STATION-BASED PART OF THE SYSTEM: • A Pilot in Command ("PIC") in operational control of a flight operation from beginning to end and who controls the UA while in the air; • A 2.4GHz radio transmitter

# Icontroller operated by the PIC to control the UA while in flight; • A radio receiver receiving live video from the on-board camera and computer projects it altogether onto a screen for the PIC to view during flight; • A VO who is in constant radio communication with the PIC and in visual line of sight ("VLOS") who provides a second pair of eyes to visually track the UA while in flight. • A ground station that is marked by a fluorescent flag at a height of no more than 8 feet or 94". The ground station shall have visual contact with the UA or VO at all times. The requested exemption would support an application for a commercial Certificate of Authorization to use the above-described HALO System to support aerial photography and video primarily of real property including but not limited to residential, commercial and agricultural properties. The UA, powered by batteries, is smaller, lighter and more maneuverable than larger aircraft running on combustible fuel, it operates at altitudes below 400 AGL with no people onboard and will thereby reduce current risk levels and enhances safety and diminishes the likelihood of death or serious bodily injury.

## US DOT, Docket Operations April 22, 2015 Page 3 of5 With a small payload and maximum flight time of only 10 minutes, this offers little or no riskto national security. Low-level oblique photos and video from several angles are far more effective than ground-based imagery for displaying the characteristics of large, complex properties with several buildings and large trees. The applicants in the past have chartered 2-seat full-sized helicopters for this purpose, which have proven more costly than many potential clients have been able to afford. The benefits of reduced cost and improved quality of presentation from the UA will be valuable to and benefit many buyers and sellers ofreal property. Additionally, we request that our system be utilized to benefit first responders who might require assistance, including fire fighters, the police, the sheriff, search and rescue, et al., while remaining subject to all limitations cited in this application. The HALO System will be operated in the field with both a PIC and a VO in accordance with FAA Policy N 8900.227, Section 14 "Operational Requirements for UAS" and with the following Restrictions: (a) No flight will be made with a UA gross weight exceeding 55 pounds; (b) All operations must occur in FAA Class G airspace at no more than 400 ft AGL, at an airspeed of no more than 25 knots and no further than 3

# I4 NM from the PIC; (c) All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The VO and PIC mustbe able to communicate by voice and radio at all times during a flight operation; (d) Operations will be restricted to flights over private property with the written permission of the property owner; (e) The PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 

## § 61.51(b), a minimum of 100 flight cycles and 25 hours of total time as a UA rotorcraft pilot and at least ten (10) hours logged as a UA pilot with a similar UA type; (f) All required permits will be obtained from state and local governmentprior to operation; (g) The HALO System will not be operated over densely populated areas; (h) The HALO System will notbe operated at air shows; (i) The HALO System will not be operated over any open-air assembly ofpeople; 

# Q) The HALO System will notbe operated overheavily trafficked roads; (k) The HALO System will not be operated within 5 NM of an airport or heliport, unless prior written approval is obtained as set forth in the FAA UAS Civil COA request and the tower is notified; (1) 

## Operations will be restricted to day-only and weather conditions equivalent to VFR;

## US DOT, Docket Operations April 22, 2015 Page4 of5 (m) The PIC will brief the VO and property owner about the operation and riskbefore the first flight at each new location; (n) In all applicable situations HALO will obtain written releases from landowner and verbal or written consent from neighboring properties. (o) No flight may be made without a Pre-Flight Inspection by the PIC before each operation to ascertain that the UA is in a condition safe for flight (see Appendix A and Appendix C). The PIC and VO will meet the requirements outlined in FAA Policy N 8900.227, Section 16 "Personnel Qualifications." Additionally, the PIC and VO will perform maintenance on the system and will complete a course of maintenance instruction as part of their initial training in accordance with the UA manufacturer recommendations. We submit that the combination of the UA's light weight, flight performance and ability, fully qualified flight crew and strict operation under the guidelines established in 8900.227, and under all of the Restrictions (a) through (o) listed above, the FAA can have full confidence that the operation will have an equivalent or greater level of safety than manned aircraft performing the same or similar missions.

# ADDENDUM

## ADDENDUM EXEMPTION REQUESTS AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY

Halo Aviation, LLC, (petitioner) requests an exemption from the following regulations as well as any additional regulations that may technically apply to the operation of the HALO System:
14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates. 

### This part establishes the procedures for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate. The FAA has indicated that relief is not necessary under 14 CFR Part 21 as statutory criteria established in Section 333 of P.L. 112-95 in reference to 49 USC Section 44704, that the size, weight, speed and limited operating area with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this type of aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. However, the petitioner wishes to be thorough and requests that the FAA be reminded that the aircraft will not carry persons or property, will not carry fuel, and will only fly under strict operational requirements. Combined with the UA's light-weight, being constructed primarily of carbon fiber and plastic, we confirm that the UA will be at least as safe, if not safer, than a conventionally certificated aircraft performing the same mission. The parts for the UA will be obtained from the manufacturer or licensed representative of the manufacturer and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
14 CFR 91.203(a) 

## & (b) Civil aircraft: Certifications required. 

### The regulation provides that an airworthiness certificate, with the registration number assigned to the aircraft and a registration certificate must be aboard the aircraft. Additionally, subparagraph (b) provides that the airworthiness certificate be "displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew." At a maximum gross weight of 5.3 pounds, the UA is too small to carry documentation, does not have an entrance, and is not capable of carrying passengers or crew. To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.203, we propose that documents deemed appropriate for this aircraft by the FAA will be co-located with the crew at the ground control station and available for inspection upon request. In order to identify the aircraft, we propose that the information found on airworthiness and registration certificates be permanently affixed to the aircraft via placard containing the following information: Property of: HALO AVIATION, LLC. MFG: Horizon Hobby, Inc. 41 05 Fieldstone Road Champaign, Illinois 61822 Model: BLADE 350QX If found please contact: (541) 954-9434
14 CFR 45.29 Size of marks. 

### These regulations provide that each aircraft must display "N" and the aircraft's registration number in letters at least 3 inches high.

Addendum Page 1 of 4

### We propose to achieve an equivalent level of safety by including a placard on the top of the aircraft, as shown above, where the PIC, VO and others in the vicinity of the aircraft while it is preparing for launch will be able to see the designation. Additionally, we feel that the permanent placard discussed in the previous paragraph will provide the aircraft's registration information at the ground station. Finally, we will display at the ground station a high contrast flag or banner that contains the words "Unmanned Aircraft Ground Station" in letters 3 inches high or greater. Since the aircraft will operate within 3/4 NM of the ground station, the banner should be visible to anyone that observes the aircraft and chooses to investigate its point of origin.
14 CFR 91.7 Civil aircraft airworthiness. This regulation provides that (a) no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in an airworthy condition. And (b) the pilot in command of a civil aircraft is responsible for determining whether that aircraft is in condition for safe flight. The pilot in command shall discontinue flight when unairworthy mechanical, electrical, or structural conditions occur. Petitioner understands that a UA is not issued an airworthiness certificate and understands that the FAA requires the petitioner to comply with the UA operating documents prior to every flight to determine if the UA is in an airworthy condition. In accordance with Appendix () the PIC shall perform an airworthiness inspection prior to every flight and shall terminate or discontinue a flight as soon as safely practicable upon the discovery of an unairworthy condition which shall include mechanical, electrical or structural failures.
14 CFR 91.9 Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, and placard requirements. This regulation provides that no person may operate an aircraft unless a current, approved flight manual is in the aircraft. We assume that the intent of this requirement is to ensure that flight manual information is available to the aircrew while operating the aircraft. We request an exemption to this requirement since the aircraft is not only too small to carry documentation, the documentation would not be available to the crew during flight operations. To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.9, we propose that a current, approved UA Flight Manual (Appendix A) must be available to the crew at the ground station anytime the aircraft is in, or preparing for, flight.
14 CFR 61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in Command and 61.133 Commercial pilot privileges and limitations. The regulation provides that no person that holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft for compensation or hire. Subparagraph (b) allows a private pilot to act as pilot in command of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. Our proposed operations require that the PIC must either: 1. Hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate issued by the FAA, and have logged 25 hours of flight experience in this type of UA; 2. Meet the requirements of 8900.227 paragraph 16(c)(2)(c) "Operations without a pilot certificate" in which the PIC is required to complete "FAA private pilot ground instruction" and pass "the FAA Private Pilot written examination." Since there are currently no means available for the pilot of a UAS to gain the experience in an equivalent category and class in order to apply for a commercial pilot's license, we propose to generate an equivalent level of safety by requiring our pilots to complete, at a minimum, FAA private

Addendum Page 2 of 4

### pilot ground instruction and pass the FAA Private Pilot written examination in addition to completing and demonstrating proficiency of operation according to petitioner's guidelines and instructions set by the manufacturer. Since the aircraft cannot carry passengers or property, we feel we meet the intent of 61.113 Subparagraph (b) even though the intent of this application is to conduct a business.
14 CFR 91.109 Flight Instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain flight tests. 

### The regulation states that "No person may operate a civil aircraft that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls." The HALO System ground-based control station consists of a small hand-held radio transmitter and while it does not offer a second set of "controls", both the student and instructor can, and will, operate the single set of controls simultaneously. With both student and instructor having "hands-on" the controls during flight, we feel that this technique meets the intent 91.109 and provides an equivalent level of safety.
14 CFR 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes General. 

### The regulation states that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Since the aircraft will be operating at a maximum of 400 feet AGL, we cannot comply with this requirement.
In order to provide an equivalent level of safety we will only fly over private property with a size of at least two acres with the permission of the owner of the property flown over. The aircraft will not be operated over congested areas or over any open air assembly of persons. The property owner will be briefed on the expected route of flight and the associated risks to persons and property on the ground. The property owner will have read and reviewed a consent and release form provided by the petitioner. The aircraft will be operated at a low altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface. Therefore we maintain that due to the small size of the UA, the hazard to persons, vehicles and structures is minimal compared to manned aircraft, which should be considered in granting the exemption.
14 CFR 91.121 Altimeter settings. 

### The regulation requires that aircraft shall maintain cruising altitudes by reference to an altimeter setting available within 100 NM of the aircraft. The UA will always fly below 400 feet AGL and will not need to maintain cruising altitudes in order to prevent conflict with other aircraft. An Above Ground Level altimeter measurement above the takeoff point is transmitted via radio from the UA on-board computer to the display screen held by the PIC, providing a constantly updated AGL readout.
14 CFR 91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. 

### The regulation provides that no person may begin a flight in an airplane under day-VFR conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after that for at least 30 minutes. We feel the intention of this paragraph is to provide an energy reserve as a safety buffer for delays to landing. The UA is battery operated and the maximum duration of flight from a single battery charge is 10 minutes with a 20% reserve. Since the aircraft will never fly more than 3/4 NM from the point of intended landing, a full battery charge at launch will ensure that we meet

Addendum Page 3 of 4

### the reserve energy requirement of this paragraph. We request an exemption to the word "fuel" and ask for an equivalent interpretation with the word "energy".
14 CFR Subpart E (91.401 - 91.417)- Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Alterations. The regulation provides that the operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft in an airworthy condition, including compliance with part 39 and 43. Paragraphs 91.407 and 91.409 require that the aircraft be "approved for return to service by a person authorized under 43.7" after maintenance and inspection. It is our intention that the PIC perform maintenance and inspection of the aircraft and "be authorized to approve the aircraft for return to service." As provided in the Pre-Flight Checklist in Appendix A, the PIC will ensure that the aircraft is in an airworthy condition prior to every flight and in addition conduct detailed inspections after every two hours of flight. Maintenance performed by the PIC is limited to repairing small cracks, replacing a propeller, checking electrical connections and updating software and firmware for the on-board computer. All other maintenance will be performed by the manufacturer or their designated repair facility. The PIC will document work performed in accordance with 91.417. We feel that due to the size, construction, and simplicity of the aircraft, the PIC can ensure an equivalent level of safety.
8900.227 Paragraph 16(c)(4) PIC Medical, and Paragraph 16(e)(1) Observer Medical. This policy provides that both the PIC and VO must have a valid FAA second-class medical certificate issued under part 67 in order to perform as a pilot or observer. The UA maximum gross weight is 24 ounces, it is constructed of carbon fiber and plastic and the PIC is not on board. Both the PIC and the VO are required to be in VLOS. Given the unlikely event that both the PIC and VO become medically incapacitated while the aircraft is in flight, the UA will return autonomously to the site of launching and land without crew intervention. Therefore, requiring the PIC and VO to meet the same medical requirements as a commercial pilot carrying passengers in a large aircraft is an unnecessary burden. We propose that the minimum medical requirements for the PIC and VO be vision corrected to 20/20 and a valid, state issued driver's license. The 20/20 vision requirement will ensure that the PIC and VO can see and avoid air traffic; a licensed driver is medically qualified to operate a much larger vehicle.

# Binding

• If you purchased the ready-to-fly (RTF) model, the transmitter is bound to the model at the factory. Iffor any reason the model needs to be re-bound, follow the

directions for the Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) version below. 

# BNF To bind or re-bind your 350 OXto your chosen DSM2/DSMXtransmitter, please follow the directions below aiQng with the binding. instructions BIND-N-R.V" included With YOUrtransmitter:
The Binding Process 1.With the transmitterand quadcopter powered off, connectthe battery



### to the 350 OX. 2.With the 350 OX on alevel surtace, turn on the power switch and allow

the quadcopterto initialize. 3.Wait until the blue LED on the quadcopterflashes rapidly, signaling the

quadcopter is initialized and ready to bind. 4. Ensure throttle is in the low position and throtHe trim is at neutral. 5. Hold the control sticks in the desired bind position (see illustrations)

and press/pull the bind button/switch,then power on the transmitter. 6. Refer

### to the Flying LED Codes table to ensure the aircraft is bound

correctly. 

### IMPORTANT: Do not attemptto bind with more than one bind code. Binding with more than one bind code will only allow the aircraft to bind normally. Unless binding with a bind code, the elevator and aileron inputs Oncluding trim) must be neutral during binding.lf you are attempting anormal bind with any inputotherthan neutral, the aircraft will emit aconstant, rapid beeping sound.
Ifyour 350 QX emits aconstant beeping sound after binding (Smart or 

### Agirlly Mode only): 1. Ensure all trims are neutral. 2. Slowly move the elevator stick back and forth (close to center) and

listen for the beeping to stop or hesitate.Take note of the direction you are moving the stickwhen the change of tone happens. 3. Ifthe tone never changes with elevator movement, slowly move the

aileron stick back and forth (close to center) and listen forthe beepingto stop or hesitate.Take note ofthe direction you are moving the stickwhen the change oftone happens. 4. Inputtrim in the direction that caused the change in tone until the

beeping 

### stops. In the event you cannotfind an inputthat stops the tones: 1. Apply 1 click of elevatortrim in either direction and then slowly

move the aileron stickctose to center. 2. Continue 

### to add 1 click at atime of elevatortrim, up

## GPS Functionality ofthe 350 QX To acquire a reliable GPS signal, it is important the 350 OX has aclearview of the sky. Obstructions that can affectthe aircraft's abilityto acquire an acceptable signal include:

• Flying close to or aroundtall/big buildings • Flying under dense vegetation • Flying indoors or under astructure Ifyou lose or cannot acquire aGPS lock and home position, the aircraft will not have Stick Relativity, SAFE Circle, Position Hold or Return Home functions available. It is not possible to use Smart Mode without having GPS enabled .Ifthe 350 

## ax is initialized without GPS enabled, itwill defaultto StabiUty Mode.The aircraft will still be capable of altitude hold. Ifyou do not have aGPS signal, try maneuvering the 350 

# ax by steering with forward elevator and rudder only.



### At.

. CAUTION: Oo notattemptto fly the 350 

# ax with GPS enabled while**~** indoors or in

# a location where the GPS signal is known to be poor, as loss of signal could result in

# a crash. 

### GPS Functions (see the binding section torturning GPS functions ONand OFF) With GPSON

• Ifthe 350 

# ax took off with GPS lockand ahome position set, when Return

Home mode is activated the quadcopterwill fly backto the start position (maintaining altitude along the way), then reduce altitude to land.
• Ifthe 350 OX should lose GPS when Return Home mode Is activated, itwill

land quickly using the barometric pressure sensorto maintain the descent rate. • Ifthe 350 

## ax took off without GPS lock, but acquires aGPS signal in flight, it

wiD land slowly using GPS 

### to hold its position and barometric pressure sensor

### to maintain the descent rate when Return Home mode is activated.
• Ifthe 350 

# ax loses GPS during landing in Return Home mode, it will increase the rate of descent and land quickly

### to avoid drift.
• Ifthe 350 

# ax deviates too far from its Intended GPS path When in Return

Home mode, itwill descend using the barometric pressure sensorto maintain the descent rate. This could happen ifthe flight control system loses its orientation because of aggressive flight in 3axis mode.
• Once the 350 

# ax has landed in Return Home mode it Will disarm the motors WithGPSOFF

• If Return Home mode is activated, the 350 

# ax will level offand land quickly

using the barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent rate. 

## Flight Guidelinesand Warnings

• Always keep aircraft in sight and under control. • Always keep people and pets at least 35 teet (10 meters) away when the

battery is connected. • Keep children out of the vicinity of this product at all times. • Always use fully charged batteries. • Always keep transmitter powered on while aircraft is powered. • Always remove batteries before disassembly. • Always keep moving parts clean. • Always keep parts dry.

# EN~~==============~---- • Once the 350 

## ax has landed in Return Home mode it will disarm the motors. 

### GPS Failure Upon GPS failure, the 350 OX will respond according to the following conditions:

Smart Mode: (rapid Green flashing LED)

Ifthe 350 

## ax is in this mode and the GPS fails, the quad will defaultto Stability Mode. The aircraftwill still use the pressure sensorto maintain altitude and control rate of descent. If GPS is re-acquired, after 5-1 0 seconds of reliable GPS signal the Smart Mode functions are returned to normal stability Mode: (long Blue, two short Green flashing LED)

Ifthe 350 

## ax is in this mode and the GPS fails, itwill not switch to Smart Mode and will notenter GPS hold, but will otherwise function normally. If GPS is reacquired, after 5-10 seconds of reliable GPS signal the Stability Mode functions are returned to normal Agility**Mode~** (long Red,two short Green flashing LED)

Ifthe 350 

## ax is in this mode and the GPS fails, itwill not affectflight performance, but itwill not be able to switch into Smart Mode. Itwill still be able to switch into Stability Modewith the limitations described above. 

### Loss of 

### Transmitter Signal Itthe transmitter signal is lost for any reason, the 350 

## ax will respond according to the following conditions:

• Ifthe motors are notturning, the 350 

## aX Will disarm.
• ltthe motors are turning but the 350 

## ax is notflying, itwill turn off the motors and disarm. • Ifthe 350 QX is flying and has agood GPS lock with ahome position set,

## Compass Calibration The Flight Controller on the 350 OX has automatic magnetic declination calibration, so you will not have to worry about looking up the magnetic declination at 

### your location and changing settings on your 350 OXto getaccurate compass measurements. It is possible, however, thatyour compass may need to be calibrated ifit is exposed to strong magnetic fields. 

### Compass calibration procedure: 1. Goto an open space outdoors awayfrom metal.Take aconventional compass with you to ensure you know the direction of north. 2. Ensure your transmitter is off and then connect aflight batteryto the 350 

# ax. Powerthe aircraft on. Waitfive seconds and then the blue LED will begin flashing rapidly, signaling the aircraft is initialized and ready to bind. 3. Once the blue light begins flashing, bind with yaw stick left.The 350 OX LED will slowly flash between red and green for 5seconds. 4. Putthe 350 OX flat in your hands and face north.After 5seconds of slow flashing the quad will start flashing rapidly. The quad is now collecting data to be used forthe calibration. 5. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees about the east-west axis ("flip" the aircraft eitherforward or backward) until itis flat in your hands again. 6. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees leftso the quad is now facing north-west. 7. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees abOutthe east-west axis, ("flip" the aircraft diagonallyeither direction) until it isflat in your hands again. 8. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees leftso the quad is now facing west. · 9. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees abOutthe east-west axis ("flip" the quad sideways either direction) until it is flat in your hands again. 10. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees left sothe quad is now facing south-west. 11.Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees abOutthe east-west axis ("flip" the aircraft diagonally eitherdirection) until it is flat in your hands again. You have 30 seconds to complete the procedure. The 350 QX should still be blinking rapidly when you finish. Hold the·aircraft still until itstops blinking rapidly. If successful,the 350 OXwill beep apositive confirmation and then restart itself. If unsuccessful, the 350 

# ax displays the failed calibration code, asolid white LED.Ifthe 350 QX displays this error code, power off the aircraft and then begin the calibration procedure again.

Step 11 Step7 

### '---------- Step9

The pressure sensor is calibrated atthe factory on the 350 

## ax. Reoalibration should only be necessary ifyou replace the sensor.

1. Place the 350 

## ax in acold area. Allow itto remain in the cold for 30 minutes or more. 2. Bring the 350 

## ax out ofthe cold and into awarm areaThe greaterthe difference in temperature between the cold and warm areas, the more accurate the calibration will be. 3. Ensure yourtransmitter is off and then connect aflight batteryto the 350

# ax and powerthe aircrafton.Waitfive seconds and then the blue LEDwill begin flashing rapidly, signaling the aircraft is initialized and readyto bind. 

## Accelerometer Calibration To calibrate the accelerometer,the quadcopter needs to fly for 20 seconds while being level.This allows the accelerometer readings to be averaged and stored in memory. Use the following procedure to calibrate the accelerometer: 1. Power on the quadcopter with the transmitter offto enter bind mode. 2. Turn on the transmitterwhile holding the elevator stick back and pressing the bind switch. 3. Set the flight mode switch to Stability Mode or Smart Mode.The quadcopter
